Daniel of Richmond, chairman of the Joint committee from the txecutive committee said today that there is apparently $1,000,000 unaccounted for in the books of Clinto S. Carnes, missing treasurer of the home mis sion board. The Atlanta Journal said this af ternoon that Carnes kept secret iiles to hide money juggling over a period of years, and but for the discovery of a secret correspondence file and note register, the auditors would have been unable to discover the shortage in the books. . The joint committee was appointed by the executive committee and the home mission board, after an all day and. night session of the two bodies here yesterday to consider the situ ation brought about by the sudden disappearance of Carnes on the after noon of August 15 without apparent reason. Court proceedings tying up assets Carnes were taken late today. Judge G. H. Howard in Fulton superior court granted a temporary injunction on a petition filed by Walter R.

Gardner Will, v Support Smith North Carolina Candidate for Gover nor Defines Position in Address Boone, N. C, Sept. 3. Asserting that he would wholeheartedly sup port Governor Al Smith and the na tional democratic ticket, O. Max Gar dner of Shelby, democratic nominee for governor of North Carolina today opened his campaign in an address at the court house here. "While I did not prefer the nom ination of Governor Smith and did not attend the Houston convention," Mr. Gardner said, I would consid er myself unworthy as democratic candidate for governor, unworthy of the trusted responsibility and leaG ership my nomination implies if In the first speech of the campaign, I should hesitate to announce my pur pose to loyally support the entire ticket of my party from constable to president. "I stand flat-footed and whole hearted in national matters squarely on the Houston platform. I have i also great admiration for the pro- 'gressive legislation Governor Smith hag secure(1 and applied as gover- nof of New York. I feel that he has demonstrated beyond question hir absolute Integrity, and has exertei1 his great administrative ability generously and humanely in behalf of the people rather than the Inter ests. While I differ with Governor Smith in some of his personal views I can never for a moment forget he was legally and lawfully nominated by my party. I could never give aid or comfort to the republican party which for seven years has made gov ernment a thing of purchase, first . th u companies and second by the special interests and has turned its back on every ideal and inspira tion of Woodrow Wilson.

Davis Fern Locxt Imtwxatct UvestntAts Red Estdt ' II cRAg ftl -I Death Calls an Old Time Pioneer Last Saturday James M. Hoover Passes Away at Clarkson Hospital in Omaha Came Here in 1863. This community was shocked and saddened last Saturday, September 1, 1928, when word came from the Clarkson hospital in Omaha that James M. Hoover, one of Louisville's early pioneers, had been called by death following an illness covering a period of a number of weeks. Mr. Hoover had been in ailing health for the past two years but would often rally and appear down town and would seem to be on the mend. He was 74 years, 7 months and 22 days old at the time of his passing. Mr. Hoover was the son of the late Captain J. T. A. Hoover and wife, prominent in the early days in the development and growth of Louis ville. He was born in Darke county, Ohio, January 8, 1854, near the town of Greenville. He came west with his parents in the year 1863 and they settled in Nebraska. St. Joseph was the terminal of the railroad, and from there they took a boat up the Missouri river, landing at Platts mouth. At that time Plattsmouth was a village of scattered houses and there were many more Indians there than white people. Captain Hoover was a man of cour age and ambition and he ventured up the Platte river and settled on the farm one-half mile south of Louis ville, which is now one of the old landmarks of this part of the coun try, the old stone house still stand ing which was built of brown sand stone quarred on the home farm. The Hoover family experienced all the hardships of these pioneer times and their many and varied stories would fill a large volume. It is regrettable that the present generations are not more familiar with the history of those days. The children grew up and became splendid citizens and took a promi nent part in continuing the good work already well on the way when their parents were called from the activities of life. James Hoover was universally loved and highly esteem ed by all who knew him. He served as assessor of this precinct for many years. He sold ice to the people of Louisville for years and this gave him a close personal contact with nearly every family in town and he was always generous in his dealings with his customers, fair and honest beyond reason, pleasant and cordial to all. For years he kept a diary of important happenings in the com munity, especially of a historical na ture and a record of the weather un til he came to be almost an unfail ing weather prophet. As his health began to fail, his friends could no tice that he was losing ground and they observed it with regret and sorrow. He married Miss Augusta Pan konin, March 11, 187S. His 1 wife died November 28, 1911, and a daughter. Laura, died February 9, 1919. He leaves one son, William M. Hoover and three daughters: They are Mrs. Fred Masters, Mrs. Al Root, of Louisville, and Mrs. Lee La Tour, of Omaha. Mrs. La Tour lived with him the last months of his life and with his other daughters gave him every care. He leaves eleven grandchildren, two brothers, Andrew J. and William M. Hoover, of Louis ville, and three sisters. They are: Mrs. Herman Smith, of Kansas City; Mrs. Chris Wirth, of Louisville, and Mrs. John Schaal, of Edgewater, Colo rado. One brother, Benjamin, and three sisters. Ellen, Elizabeth and Mary, preceded him in death. The funeral occurred on Monday afternoon from the M. E. church, Rev. George A. Morey. pastor of the M. E. church at Weeping Water offi ciating, whose remarks were comfort ing and uplifting. Misses Edith Stander and Doris Noyes sang sever al duets and were accompanied by Mrs. Verne Chatelain, of Minnesota. The pall bearers were old time friends and members of the Modern Woodmen organization of which Mr. Hoover was a veteran member. They were John Group, L. J. Mayfield, Philip Kahler, M. N. Drake,. F. H. Nichols and Frank Johnson. Louis ville Courier. Read the Journal Want Ads. ORDER OF HEARING and Notice on Petition for Set tlement of Account In the County Court of Cass coun ty, Nebraska.

WILL HAVE CAR INSPECTORS The Burlington is to have two car Inspectors placed on the list of em ployes in this city, who will work out of the local station and make inspection of the cars used in the sand and gravel transportation from the large pits north of this city. The heavy loaded cars of sand and gravel frequently cause "hot boxes" on the cars while en route and the company will see that all the cars are well conditioned and inspected before they leave this point for the destination of the car. The inspectors will see that the boxes where the bearings of the wheels are placed are kept in the best of shape on this end of the line and which will eliminate the danger aud expense as well as the delay that these hot boxes occasion.
